The Mets leave Petco Park and the Reds roll in for a series to start on Monday. After a hot start, Cincinnati has plummeted to the bottom of the tough NL Central. It is going through another rough stretch, having lost 9 of 11.
The Padres are also slumping, although they managed to get back in the win column with one against the Mets on Saturday. Before that, it was six straight losses. And you know what that means: The Dodgers have run away to a huge lead in the NL West.
Walker Buehler gets the call for the home team on Monday> He has pitched better after a rough start to the season, allowing six runs over more than 16 innings in his last three starts.
Andrew Abbott goes for the road team. He’s 4-3 with a 4.06 ERA. The Reds have won the game in four of Abbott’s last five starts. This feels like a game where MLB lines BetUS will see the run total be of 7½, no match for the teams’ bats.
